A Love For Ice Cream
Maine Coast Creamery is owned and operated by Ismael Thadal and Molly Hodgkins. Originally from Haiti, Ismael immigrated to Maine in 2007 and has lived in Southern and Central Maine ever since. Molly is a Maine native herself, originally from Trenton, ME. Ismael and Molly bonded over their shared love of ice cream when they met in 2014 and have made a hobby out of trying new ice cream places all throughout New England with their friends! In 2020, Ismael made it his goal to one day attend Ice Cream 101 at Penn State and become an ice cream manufacturer. True to his word, Ismael attended Ice Cream 101 in January 2024, and since then, he and Molly have been carefully developing their recipes and crafting homemade ice cream in their Emery Thompson.
Their desire to offer something different—ice cream made entirely from scratch with simple ingredients and a richer taste—led to the birth of their business. With the support of friends, family, and the Central Maine community, their creations quickly became a hit, celebrated for their authentic flavors and dedication to craftsmanship.
Crafting Perfection from Scratch
At Maine Coast Creamery, we make our ice cream base from scratch, unlike many others who use pre-made mixes. Our commitment to quality means using good ingredients, resulting in fewer additives and a richer taste. With each batch we focus on making old favorites perfectly and new flavors that provide both comfort and excitement. We are proud to be one of the few ice cream makers in Maine to offer such an authentic and handcrafted experience.
Local Pick-up
Currently, we offer local pick-up only, ensuring that our customers receive the freshest ice cream possible. This allows us to maintain the highest quality while supporting our local community.
